I had a set of their Cornwalls in mahagony finish. I built stands out of 1 inch galvanized plumbing pipe. It raised them about 4 feet, and gave me floor space back. It also allowed me to make rope shelves at each 12 inch cupler. But why would Klipsche use those stupid screw terminal connections in the back. The speakers were $1500 and they couldn't put OFC binding posts on them? arg. Went from them to Yamaha 500M's and they havd posts for 10g wire. I built wooden stands for them. My first wood project.
